Background

• As a continued relationship building event, my wife and I enjoy training for at least one ‘official’ run every year. We started with 5k runs and this year we decided to embark on a 10-mile run. These activities motivate us to perform physical activity … together. As part of Coursera’s Developing Data Products course, I have decided to plot this years run, the Army Ten-Miler (ATM).

Data

• Garmin is one of many fitness trackers on the market. The data sensor utalized for colletion was a Garmin Forerunner 235 Smartwatch. The event data from Garmin was download from my personal account through https://connect.garmin.com. The personal activity data is automatically downloaded in 3 formats; .tcx, .gpx, and .kml. The .tcx data was used for mapping this activity.
